CC503 Cam Hey I was going to go with the cam install over the past winter but got laid off from work wasn't expecting that. Anyway I am going with the CC503 cam over this coming winter, I am going with the 1.6 roller rockers, valve springs. The car already has a new optispark installed so do you think I should buy the camkit or not? Here is something else I am thinking about, how big of a job is it to install a cam into one of these cars. By the way it is a 94 Z28. I installed LT's a couple of weeks ago that was a pain big time. And yes I already have a stall, CAI, and as mentioned LT's, with a catback. Here is another thing I am thinking about, I hear a lot of people giving these cams a good name how much of a gain will this came give me?? H/P and 1/4 mile times.
If you have all the parts you could change the came over a weekend. It took me a week of putzing after work to change mine. You should pick up at least 60 to 70 hp and 6+ mph in the 1/4. I gained 6.5 mph from the hotcam.
I use to run the cc503 cam-only. I dyno'd 330rwhp and I think 335-340rwtq through my automatic with LT's, intake, tune. I thought the cam was great, definitely a solid off-the-shelf option. I forget the exact quarter mile times that I ran but I recall the car trapping 110mph at full weight. That's probably a solid 6-7mph over just bolt-ons.
The installation isn't necessarily hard but it's definitely time consuming. My advice is to take your time, use writeups/guides, and keep everything clean and organized.

If I dyno at 330 h/p I will be more than happy yes I am keeping the stock heads, like I typed earlier I have heard a lot of good things said about the CC503. This will be done over the winter so I will take my time and I do work on cars for a living.. I have a tune now but will send it back to PCM Forless for another tune after the cam swap. Cams really wake up the old LT1's big time wow!!!
